Love professor speer! As others have said, the workload is fair but it is so straightforward that it makes it easy to do the tests, etc.,

a big fat smooch for professor speer. You're doing great mama, love youuuuu

Tip: do the homework, would help you out with the tests so much

This man is heaven-sent. THE BEST PROFESSOR!!! I'm not even exaggerating. He is super helpful and accommodating.

Yes, there is a multiple choice and short essay part (for both midterm and final) but they're super easy if you do the homework. Also, there's a final paper (usually with a prompt but students have somewhat free range to talk about what they want as long as it follows the assignment) which is easy to do if you do the work. This is my fourth time taking him because he is just that good.

With the protests going on campus, he was super understanding of the stress and severity of the situation. I don't want to say too much about how accommodating he was because I wanna gatekeep but also because I don't want people to take advantage of his kindness (call me a teacher's pet I don't care).

I just can't truly express how much of an amazing human being he is. Aside from academia (which, he is also really good at), he has a heart of gold.

Speer is the worst instructor I’ve had in my academic career. His lecture was extremely uninformative and misleading. His class material is outdated and lectures are extremely hard to follow with how monotone he is. Speer gets very off topic and side tracks to his political beliefs that he tries to impose on students, rather than focusing on teaching. I remember him comparing Trump to Hitler, to name one incident. I strongly encourage everyone to stay away from this class!
